What an amazing coffee and breakfast spot. I used to get coffee at this location during college and it was as amazing then as it is now. They have wonderful breakfast options and a store full of pastries that do not disappoint. The atmosphere is always great and can't wait to get more coffee.

Delicious sandwiches to order, great coffee, pies to make you fall in love, and an assortment of baked treats and candies that give no one in a 20 minute radius the excuse to show up to a party without a gift.

Something's brewing Mocha Mambo Latte (cold) cappuccino (hot)

A lot of people visit this place, 11 am is their busiest time. Good food, drinks, ambiance and fast service. A lot of choices for dessert. Nice place to chill while waiting.

Mocha Mambo

First Impressions: Something's Brewing has a wonderful, friendly atmosphere, perfect for meeting friends or settling in with a book. It truly feels like a welcoming local spot. Taste: The Mocha Mambo was decent, though it had a somewhat artificial flavor. The Bacon Cheddar Chive Scone was a bit dry and rough, not as good as it apparently has been in the past. Cost: At around $7 for coffee and $5 for a scone, the pricing is fair for a local cafe. Service: Everyone working here is super friendly, which adds to the cafe's homey and inviting vibe. Extras: It's a great place to stop if you're passing by and need a spot to read or get some work done. It's also very family-friendly. Be aware that the Wi-Fi can be slow and it can get a bit loud, so it might not be ideal for online meetings.

banana pudding

I got anxious as soon as I walked in. There was very little standing room because of the line of people waiting to order or waiting for their food or drink. There's also tables and shelves full of stuff all around the front. Then the menu is too extensive and hard to read. There was no seating available when we got there. There's a vast arrangement of baked goods, cookies, fudges, candies etc. It's just so busy! It feels like there is no serenity. I ended up getting a jalapeño cheddar bagel with chive cream cheese and banana pudding. The cream cheese was tasty. The banana pudding is no Magnolia bakery but it was decent.

This is my go to local small coffee shop vibes whenever I want to study or work outside of home. There are so many different treats and eats to choose from. I always have a good time when I come here as it's a great place to meet up with friends. Prices are reasonable and the service is nice. This is a must visit for anyone in the area!

Great coffee spot right next to the Libertyville Metra stop. I missed my train in the morning so…read moreinstead of punishing myself and getting all mad, I treated myself to a brown butter latte and a cranberry orange scone. After all it is a Friday! There are many things on the winter menu that I would love to try next time I am back. The scone was huge and very flavorful. And the brown butter latte was a nice warm treat on a cold Chicago morning. The employees behind the counter were nice and friendly and helped me decide my drink for the morning. It was between the miso caramel latte or the brown butter latte, and I went with the brown butter. Nice chill coffee spot with great options. They have a nice cozy couch in the front and heard they have a nice big sitting area in the back that I didn't have time to check out. Til next time!

Stopped in for a beverage before work this morning. I've been to Hansa many times in the past, many…read moremany years ago. This was my first time in about 7 years. Same industrial feel inside with lots of seating and work space. Great as a remote working space or a meeting with friends. Expansive menu. All of the usuals for such a craft coffee shop but they also have a great selection pastries, some of which are vegan and gluten free. They've even got the ingredients for each item posted on the side of the display. Their website and social media is very backdated. I couldn't find anything recent in terms of their current menu in order to plan ahead before coming but the woman behind the register was very helpful.

Located inside the Mexican supermarket. Owners (husband and wife) own both the supermarket and…read morecoffee shop. There's a nostalgic feel to this place while also being very modern. The name, Drip & Culture, perfectly describes this spot. I was in the Great Lakes area for only 2 days for one of my nephew's Navy graduation and I went to this place twice. We ordered the iced versions of the Ube Matcha and the Ube Hojicha. The flavor balance of these drinks are perfection. As a Filipino, I approve their ube; it's not like the "ube"/vanilla with food coloring from Trader Joe's. Sidenote: I love Trader Joe's overall, but the majority of their ube products are terrible. I'm going to be craving that Ube Hojicha for a long time. I hope I can find something similar back home. Also, if you're hungry, try the tacos sold inside the supermarket adjacent to the cafe. Cheap, big, and delicious tacos!

They have a pretty vast menu. You can see the love that goes into this family owned business. I decided to try the mango sticky rice matcha and the ube hojicha latte. The Ube beverage was great, the ube flavor stands out pretty strong unlike most ube coffee drinks I've had elsewhere. The mango sticky rice was delish, it was sweet but not overly sweet and the cream made a huge difference in the drink. Highly recommend. Overall we had a great fine and would recommend if you're looking for a fusion coffee shop to try!
